| Thiel Owners TomThank you for the in depth lesson , for me this has turned into learning and experimental experience .I am considering taking Cardas 18 gauge solid wire that is enamel coated to prevent oxidation and using a cotton sleeve and twisting them wit... | |
| Thiel Owners Is the Straight Wire used by Thiel of Kentucky 18 guage solid wire or is it straned ? | |
| Thiel Owners TomI agree with you on the " B " , I believe that is why different wire manufactures and configurations create sonic differences .The only measurement that I can go by is resistance ,stating my opinion about wiring or what I am hearing has little... | |
| Thiel Owners From CardasTen feet of 15.5 AWG measures 0.1411 ohms.Ten feet of 17.5 AWG measures 0.1638 ohms.Ten feet of 18.5 AWG measured 0.1883 ohms.Ten feet of 20.5 AWG measures 0.2279 ohms.So little differences yet one can hear it . | |
| Thiel Owners Good Morning Tom Thiel and All Thiel ownersUpdate on the wiring of my 2.7 ,I replaced the 15.5 with 17.5 awg wiring on the mid range of the coaxialspeaker to equalize the resistance , it sounded like the mid / treblewas louder or more pronounced .... | |

| Thiel Owners jon_5912When I read your post from 2018 you had 3.7s that blew a coaxialspeaker , supposedly because of the cable pass thru not being sealed .Thanks to your post it would have been awhile before I sealed the speaker cable pass thru solving the pro... | |
| Thiel Owners TomPlugging the pass thru holes for the speaker wires solved the mystery of why when I turned up the volume the mid and upper range frequencies became overpowering .The magic has returned .I was focusing and blaiming the sound unbalance on the in... | |
| Thiel Owners TomAgain I have to say thank you , your knowledge , experience and insightis valued and appreciated by all Thiel owners .I remember you telling us that Toyota approached Thiel with the thought of using Thiel speakers in Toyota cars , your stories ... | |
| Thiel Owners Thank You Tom ThielI wish I had known about the findings by Thiel before I tried experimenting with wool batting ,so with the knowledge you have shared I will give up any thought about trying to use wool , especially since the 2.7 doesn't have a s... | |
| Thiel Owners @beetlemaniaUpdate on the wool quilting batting ,basically a total failure .No matter how much I used and compressed in the mid/tweetercabinet the very high piercing notes came thru ,in the bass it seemed to muddy up the upper bass .While it is gr... | |
